Young Remus Lupin (french reader)

I had so much fun writing this imagine! Writing fluffy stuff is always fun to do😊😂 anyways, this is for BakerStreetBaggins I hope you like it!

I had to make up a last name to fit the story sorry!

Remus's POV

Ok, I got this. I got this. Just talk to her, Remus, just-

"Maybe instead of staring at her you should talk to her."

I whipped around to see Sirius right behind me, smirking. "You know where the library is?!" I fake gasped, clutching my chest in a playful manner.

"Turns out that the hottest girls are smart too, like Frenchie over here..."

My face grew serious and I gave him a light punch in the arm. Well... I meant it to be light... But I ended up punching him pretty hard. "Don't treat her like one of your toys." I scolded.

"Hey, I was kidding!" He exclaimed, rubbing his soon-to-be-bruised shoulder. "I know you have a thing for Y/N anyways."

"Yeah..." I murmured, turning around to see her concentrating so hard on her work. Her glasses kept slipping down her freckled nose, and she was continuously pushing them back up in the cutest way. Merlin... It's so hard not to stare.

"Moony talk to her." Sirius urged, pushing me towards her.

"I-bu-she's-stop stop stop, Sirius!" I flailed around, trying to get out of his grasp, but I ended up right in front of Y/N instead.

She slowly looked up, her chocolate eyes locking with mine. "Hello." She said, her French accent flowing from her lips and turning the corners of my lips upwards.

"I, er, erm... Hi." I stammered, mentally crying at my awkwardness.

"You know," Sirius began, putting an arm around my shoulder. My eyes widened in horror, terrified about what he's going to say next. "Remus thinks you look absolutely stunning today." I felt my cheeks flame up, and I slammed my eyes shut, scared of her reaction. But no negative reaction came. All I heard was her giggle. I slowly opened one of my eyes to see her smiling and her cheeks dusted pink, looking down at her papers nervously.

I smiled, slightly, gaining the tinniest bit of confidence.

But then, of course, Sirius had to be Sirius.

"But of course, I think you look gorgeous." He gave her a wink, and I puffed out my flushed cheeks in annoyance.

"I'd prefer to get pregnant after I'm married, thanks." She replied, cooly. I burst out laughing, and Sirius smiled wide.

He whispered in my ear, "She's a keeper," before walking away.

"Soooo," I began nervously, sitting across from her. "What're you doing?"

"Well, I just finished up some DADA homework, and I'm about to begin studying for NEWTS." She said, closing a big book and stuffing it into her bag. "Want to study with me?"

I nodded my head yes without hesitation. She smiled and opened up a textbook. I could see that she completely demolished it with notes, not a page untouched. I chuckled silently, for this isn't surprising. She's a Ravenclaw.

"Ugh," she groaned, flopping her head on her book. "I don't want to study."

I laughed and shook my head. "No one does."

~~~

"How long must the black fire simm-"

"It simmers for about ten minutes, changing from an amber color to a deep purple."

"Amazing."

Y/N just blushed and looked down for a question to ask me.

"What potion causes the drinker extreme pain and what color is it?" She asked.

"Er, the drink of despair. And it's black, right?"

"Excellent. You're really good at potions, you know."

I grinned widely and covered my burning cheeks discreetly. It always feels good to be complimented by your crush.

She then returned to her books. I smiled at her as she opened up book after book, reading everything she wrote down. Y/N currently had her "thinking face" on, which is the cutest thing imaginable. Her eyebrows are furrowed and her tongue pokes out of her mouth. Sometimes her glasses even slip down her nose, and she doesn't realize it.

"You're so pretty."

"You really think so?"

Did I say that out loud?!

"No! I mean, you're gorgeous, but, wait no, I mean-" I was cut off my her melodic giggle, and I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.

"It's better than what Severus said to me the other day." She chuckled, skimming through her charms book.

I had stopped studying about half an hour ago, and just watch her study. She still hasn't realized.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He said, Move out of the way, Delalune, you brainless cow!"

Normally, I'd tell her that she was nothing of the sort and was precious just the way she was, but she was laughing at Severus's statement, not caring what he thought of her. I didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Wait, your last name is Delalune?" I asked.

"We've had classes together for a little while, you 'ought to know!"

"I always thought it was Dee-lune." I replied sheepishly. She just smiled and gave me a playful shove. "You should pay attention more often."

"But it means... Of the moon, right?" I asked, growing quiet.

"Yeah, why?"

I opened my mouth, so close to saying why, but I immediately closed it again. I wouldn't want her to think I was a monster.

Maybe one day. One day she'll know.

"Godrick, it's late!" She exclaimed, jumping out of her seat.

She quickly packed her things and rushed towards the door. "Thank you for studying with me!"

As soon as she opened the door, I refused to let such an opportunity go to waste. I leapt out of my seat and dashed after her. Just as she made it outside the library, I caught up with her and grabbed onto her wrist. "Wait."

She turned around and gave me a puzzled expression. I then realized what I was about to do, and nearly lost the ability to function. "Well, I was just wondering if-you-me-erm-well I, like... You don't have to say yes or anything but-"

I was quickly silenced when her small, pale hand covered my mouth. "Remus Lupin are you asking me out on a date?" She asked with a smirk.

My whole face was a bright red tomato, looking down at my feet, embarrassed. "Yeah, this was pretty stupid. I'm sorry, I'll just-" I was silences yet again by Y/N gently placing her lips on my cheek. "You must wait for my answer and not just assume." She whispered, before walking towards the Ravenclaw common room, leaving me flustered and smiling like a bloody idiot.

"Goodnight, Remus!"

"Goodnight, Y/N Dee-lune." I heard her laugh echo through the halls before she turned the corner.

She may not think I'm a monster...
